When commit 8375e74f ("driver core: Add fw_devlink kernel commandline option") added fw_devlink, it didn't implement "permissive" mode correctly. That commit got the device links flags correct to make sure unprobed suppliers don't block the probing of a consumer. However, if a consumer is waiting for mandatory suppliers to register, that could still block a consumer from probing. This commit fixes that by making sure in permissive mode, all suppliers to a consumer are treated as a optional suppliers. So, even if a consumer is waiting for suppliers to register and link itself (using the DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag) to the supplier, the consumer is never blocked from probing.
